Having myself been coordinator of EU proposals, I know how difficult the last moments are when many texts and budget tables have to be merged into something coherent for the evaluation. The new EU framework makes this problem even more accute with these gigantic proposals gathering a significant part of the european scientists working in our field. Anyway, it was logical from our perspective to mention this minor overlook that can be fixed at a later stage. We all hope that IMPRINT will be accepted and will benefit to all our teams.
